Two men have been charged after a double murder at Ipswich, west of Brisbane, on Saturday night.

Queensland Police were called to a house on Hill Street at North Ipswich just before midnight on Saturday after neighbours reported people fighting.

It is understood there was an argument during a party which developed into an all-out brawl on the street in which three men were stabbed.

A 22-year-old died at the scene, an 18-year-old was taken to the Ipswich Hospital in a critical condition but died a short time later, and a third man was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital but his injures were not serious.

On Sunday a 22-year-old man was charged with two counts of murder and one of acts intended to cause grievous bodily harm.

Later in the day, an 18-year-old man was also charged with two counts of murder and one of wounding.

Both are to appear before the Ipswich Magistrates Court on Monday.
